Frequently Asked Questions
Where is Nageela moving? When is this happening?
Camp Nageela Midwest will be moving to a new facility located in Ingleside, IL, on the shores of beautiful Wooster Lake. Our staff is already hard at work preparing for this transition, which will take place during the off season and should be completed before camp opens for our Summer 2019 sessions.
What facilities will the new campus have?
Located on 180 wooded acres in Ingleside, IL, the new Nageela campus will largely have the same facilities our campers currently enjoy, including comfortable bunk cabins, a heated outdoor pool, high ropes course with climbing wall and zipline, sports fields, nature trails and more. The new campus will also offer some exciting new additions such as a pool waterslide, treehouse, biking-karts and expanded boating on Lake Wooster.
